Looking for a Remington 700 SPS Tactical or Ruger American rifle or similar in .308 or .270win or 6.5 creedmoor. Let me know what you have!

I have a Howa 1500 in 270 I could part with.

I think the Howa's are probably the best bang for the buck. I love my 700's, but they are a bit expensive, considering the stock will be a throwaway with the trigger following shortly too.

Tikka T3 Lite would be my next suggestion.

With the Howa and Tikka, you get a accurate and precise rifle with nice triggers. Their basic stocks, like the Remmingtons, are fine for hunting accuracy, but not precision shooting. Boyd's makes a nice alternative until you search out McMillans.

As for the American: a nice cheap rifle that will help you make some noise at the range. Again, fine hunting accuracy, but precision, lacking. You'll want to dump the stock and trigger as well.

What are you looking to do? Hunt? Precision? Tactical = short barrel. I would avoid. Shorter barrel, shorter impulse, less speed.

Are you going to reload?At $504 for: rifle, scope, base, and rings, you will find it hard to beat the accuracy and precision of this rifle. Also, I would probably go with the 308. Too much reloading data and bullet choices for the 30 cal's.
